Obama was an empty suit. Weak! The headlines has trump In there but Romney is actually criticizing our response to Georgia and Crimea which didn’t happen during trumps administration. I agree with Romney that we were very weak on those instances."The 80s called and we didn't answer."
Romney swipes Obama, Trump and Biden after Russia invades Ukraine: 'The '80s called and we didn't answer'
Sen. Mitt Romney laid the blame for Russia’s Wednesday night invasion of Ukraine at the policies of the three most recent U.S. presidents, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.www.foxnews.com
He criticized Trump by pointing out the shortsidedness of “America First”.
Romney was a mute when he had the chance to speak up as Trump tried to strong arm Ukraine into creating dirt on Hunter Biden. But, yeah, Obama.
Are you referring to the sole R who voted to impeach Trump over the Ukrainian extortion attempt?
Romney was the lone Republican senator who voted guilty on Abuse of Power during Trump’s first impeachment. He also was critical of Republicans for forming a committee to investigate Hunter Biden’s activities in Ukraine.
He's not a Monday morning QB. He's a Saturday morning QB.
He was the first senator in American history to vote ‘guilty’ during an impeachment trial of a president from his own party. And he did so knowing full well he was inviting the wrath of Trump’s supporters and a certain primary challenge in his next reelection bid.
Don't forget that, egads, he also put his dog in a crate on top of his car.
The question asked "Geopolitically" and the answer to that is Russia, all day. I guess we should have elected him president to find out.
I won't vote for a Republican for a very long time. Especially in my home state. I'm not that forgiving. Not until we have laws that protect voting rights. Republicans don't want those.
This. What could we have done? The only thing I can think of is working to keep China from backing Putin. If China were participating in the sanctions on Russia right now Putin would be in a far more precarious position. I also think Putin is crazy so he might be doing this anyway. His entire political career has been about compensating.
Obama was right then, and Romney is right now. Especially after four years of the previous President bending over backward$ for his favorite oligarchical dictator. Our biggest threat then were states sanctioning Middle East terrorism. Luckily, we neutralized that threat for the time being under Obama's leadership. It's really easy to have amnesia about where we were then vs now.
What about states that were actively assisting Iran with building a nuclear weapons program?
Did they find those nuclear weapons right next to the WMDs in Iraq Conservatives swore we'd find? Interestingly, we did have a nuclear deal in place with Iran to prevent that. Know who blew that one up? The fragile President that did away with it because the Black President that bruised his ego helped broker it. That nuclear deal went into the dustbin right alongside our pandemic response team he helped put together too.
And that has exactly what to do with Romney? The nuclear deal with Iran was not in place when Romney and Obama debated each other in 2012. That deal came later. And Romney had nothing to do with Trump scrapping that deal, so I'm not sure why you think it's germane to this discussion.
